"Adultery"

Scripture Reading:
Ephesians 5:5  (HCSB) For know and recognize this: Every sexually immoral or impure or greedy person, who is an idolater, does not have an inheritance in the kingdom of the Messiah and of God.

Devotional Reading:

Glorification of adultery seems to have become fashionable in our society. Pick up any newspaper, especially one with an entertainment section, and you’ll see what I mean. Adultery may be bad for soul, but it’s great for circulation.  We shouldn’t be surprised at what we are seeing. A newspaper recently reported that while public opinion polls consistently show that Americans disapprove of adultery, newspapers and television continue to glorify it. Many seem to think this commandment reads, ‘Thou shall not admit adultery’. Much is advanced, or merely accepted, in the name of political correctness that a few years ago was never spoken of or seen publicly…Some seem to revel in breaking what used to be commonly accepted social customs and demonstrate an in your face attitude.  With the new trend of "cougars", we find sexual fornication and immorality to have increased in older women by 75%.  This friend is not only wrong but immoral.  In a simple sense asked by Dr. Jack Graham, "What are we teaching the next generation".  They see this as a sign of a maturing society-that we have grown up, advanced beyond moral taboos-when in reality we have reverted to pagan standards that are thousands of years old.” It’s important to understand that adultery is both a crime and a sin. The problem is the secular world no longer sees it as very much of a crime even though the Christian world continues to see it as a sin. Forgiveness is just around the corner in Christ Jesus if you truly know Him...be forgiven, forgive and "SIN NO MORE"-stop committing adultery!

Keep the Son in your eyes,
